Established in 1996, the Department of Cultural Studies is one of the few Departments in the country
devoted exclusively to the academic pursuit of Cultural Studies. Cultural Studies has evolved into a vibrant
interdisciplinary approach in the understanding of society, culture and expressive forms associated with
human behaviour across a wide range of disciplinary engagements. India is fast emerging as an important
location where methods evolved in Cultural Studies are used to interrogate disciplinary approaches in an
attempt to promote an understanding of various issues like ethnicity, migration, national and nationalistic
assertion, gender and society, media generated cultural forms, environment and development and emerging
lifestyle patterns. The Department of Cultural Studies at Tezpur University mediates global concerns and
theoretical approaches of the discipline with issues that are of local importance and promotes an
understanding of the rich cultural heritage and the ingrained plural nature of the region, the folk and oral
inheritance and ethnic and cultural assertions. The department is supported by UGC-SAP (DRS-II). The
Department of Cultural Studies along with the Department of Foreign Languages and the Centre for Assamese
Studies is the recipient of the Centre with Potential for Excellence in Particular Areas.

Initially established as a centre for Environmental Science in 2003, the centre was converted to the
Department of Environmental Science in 2004, with the objective of imparting education on regional and global
environmental issues. The curriculum for the M. Sc. programme focuses on all important aspects of
Environmental Science covering contemporary problems of natural resource conservation and environmental
quality. Areas of research include Environmental Pollution, Greenhouse Gas Emission, Riverine Hazards,
Geomorphology, Climate Atmospheric Processes, Vulnerability and Adaption, Hydrogeochemistry,
Vermicomposting, Pollution Remediation, Biodiversity Conservation and Atmospheric System Modeling. The
Department is a recipient of grant under UGC-SAP and DST-FIST.
